Andrei Lunin (23 years old) wants to play, and he has more fame and opportunities than he has since his arrival at Real Madrid. He’s looking for a destination that guarantees him or at least he can fight to be basic, something he knows is practically impossible with Courtois in front of him.
Lunin’s relationship with Ancelotti and Courtois is excellent. In fact, the Italian is happy with his daily work, so much so that during the season he was very close to getting that opportunity that he demanded, but some bad results of the team did not give the coach the opportunity to finally make this decision, who played against Atletico Madrid and Cadiz, which indicates He qualifies to be a key player on many teams.
The derby was his first league match with Real Madrid. He made his debut in Leganes, a team with which he played five matches.
The Ukrainian international arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2018, and the fact is that he hardly takes part in the matches. He was loaned to Leganes, Valladolid and Avidio, the last team in which he was able to play twenty matches.
With Zinedine Zidane, he did not gain the necessary confidence and during the last season he felt excluded from the team, something that did not happen during the current season. Now he is looking for a team, but what he does not want under any circumstances is the separation from Real Madrid.
The white club, given the situation that will emerge in a few weeks, has already set its sights on an unexpected contract and the name is David Ospina (33 years), the Napoli goalkeeper whose contract expires on June 30.
If an agreement is reached, the Colombian will form an experienced duo with the Belgian goalkeeper, who will be supported by youngsters from the academy such as Luis, Toni or Canizares.
The possibility of including Ospina is the main option they are now dealing with in Valdebebas’ offices. Ancelotti knows the Colombian well. They came across in Napoli and he believes that with him and Courtois, in addition to helping the youth, the goalkeeper’s position will be well covered. He appreciates two colors and stresses that he deserves the opportunity to be basic.
Ospina was the main goalkeeper for Napoli in the Italian championship. He helped keep the team in contention for the championship until the final stage. The former Arsenal player is the main goalkeeper of the Colombian national team and his performance is still at the highest level.
As Marca learned, Ospina would agree to come to Real Madrid knowing that he might be the best goalkeeper in the world in front of him. The club will ensure experience in a complex position such as goalkeeper. In Valdebebas’ offices they understood Lunin’s desire to play, although they knew they would be happy to keep him.
